You can’t change what you can’t see.
Your biomechanics are specific to you. That is why generic stretches never fixed anyone’s posture. Align uses your iPhone camera to find where your body is stuck, then coaches the restoration work, tailored to you.

Why posture advice fails
Nobody slouches on purpose.
If you have ever been told to stand up straight, you already know it is not a habit you can force into place. You stretched. You strengthened your upper back. It did not hold.
That is because the body is a tensioned network, not a stack of parts. Nothing in it works in isolation. Stress in one region travels through muscle and fascia until something far away is forced to compensate. A rounded back can be driven by the pelvis. The spot that looks wrong is usually the end of the chain, not the start of it.
Posture is downstream of your nervous system. The work has to start there.
Your brain sets your skeleton to whatever feels safe and familiar. Change happens when you calm the nervous system, then restore the specific movement your body has lost. Not with generic exercises. With the exact expansion or compression a stuck region needs.
Test. Restore. Re-test.
Align runs the loop that practitioners use, with a camera instead of a clinic.
Assess
Point your phone at yourself and move through a few guided physical tests. Align measures your range of motion and finds the pattern your body is stuck in.
Restore
You get a short, breathing-led program built for what your assessment found. A few focused minutes a day, driving the exact movement you have lost.
Re-test
Measure again and watch access come back. Progress is restored movement you can see, not a streak you have to take on faith.
Your camera feed never leaves your phone.
Pose detection runs entirely on your device with Apple Vision. Frames are analyzed live and discarded. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored on a server. We could not watch you if we wanted to.
My co-founder and I are building Align because posture advice kept failing the people we know. The cues, the stretches, the reminders. None of it addressed why a body settles where it does.
Align is our attempt to do this properly: assess first, restore what is actually missing, and let you watch the change happen. It is in early access, and we are inviting a small group of beta testers to try it and tell us where it falls short.
